At night, Wang Sancai had already stayed in an inn on the Zhumu Mountains.
The inn was built here deliberately, naturally to make money from small merchants who were reluctant to take the road, so although the price was more expensive than some of the inns in the city, it was also within the range that small merchants could afford.
The key is that most of these inns have to give "protection fees" to the bandits who manage this territory, and few bandit gangs open them themselves, and coincidentally, the territory where this inn is located happens to be the territory under Fang Shiyu's previous jurisdiction.
In the hall of the inn, a shopkeeper was complaining to Fang Shiyu with a bitter face: "The owner of the village, the people who came to the Zhumu Mountains were originally some small caravans, and our inn was not built very big, so it couldn't accommodate more than 300 people at all!" ”
"I know you can't fit so many people here, that's why I asked you to find a way, if you can fit so many people, why do I ask you? Why don't I just bring someone in? Fang Shiyu was wearing a coarse linen robe given to him by Wang Sancai, and looked at the shopkeeper in front of him with both hands pinching his waist with an unhappy expression, but because Fang Shiyu's body was much shorter and thinner than Wang Sancai, he looked a little nondescript when he wore it.
The shopkeeper's face became even more bitter: "Oh, the owner of the village." You killed me, and I can't think of a way to house so many people, wow! ”
"Okay, then I'll kill you!" Fang Shiyu didn't say a word, and immediately pulled out the machete.
Seeing it clearly, the shopkeeper was excited, and hurriedly retreated: "You, after you kill me, not only will you not get my monthly payment, but you will also be surrounded and suppressed by other village owners!" ”
"Big brother, there is a den of bandits in Nuogan on the Zhumu Mountains, although they have the intention to run an inn, they really don't understand this, they often scare away the guests who come to stay, and they can't afford to hire servants like Xiao Er. So. A long time ago, the bandit gang on the Zhumu Mountain Range discussed a result - only charge the protection fee of the inn on their own territory, as long as the shopkeeper pays the money, then they must not kill innocents indiscriminately, otherwise they will be surrounded and suppressed by all other bandit gangs. Fang Tong whispered in Wang Sancai's ear and explained: "They are doing this to make this part of the money more long-term......
"How do you know so well?" Wang Sancai also interrupted in a low voice.
Fang Tong shrugged: "I've been on this mountain range before. I don't want to eat all day long and wait until I die. Then I left on my own. ”
Fang Shiyu pursed his lips. Carrying a machete, he walked towards the shopkeeper step by step: "You don't want that money!" The other owners want to kill me? Then you have to ask my red scarf first!! ”
Wang Sancai on the side was speechless for a moment.
Ever since he casually said that he would call him a red scarf, this guy has really screamed, and he is so unhappy to call him one sentence on the left and one sentence on the right. But that serious and respectful appearance made Wang Sancai unable to say anything wrong.
But now, Wang Sancai frowned suddenly, no longer paid attention to Fang Tong, and took two steps forward and said sharply to Fang Shiyu: "Shiyu, you must first understand that I am not carrying the black pot for you all day long, if you want to be good, you should consider how ordinary people communicate, don't bring your style of a thief to the city, I won't be able to save you if something goes wrong at that time!" ”
Fang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, quickly put away the machete, turned to Wang Sancai and said solemnly: "Yes, Lord Red Scarf, I know that I am wrong." ”
Wang Sancai couldn't help but feel a little helpless: "Think about it, and then continue to communicate with the shopkeeper." ”
The shopkeeper didn't know why, but when he saw that Fang Shiyu was so obedient in front of Wang Sancai, he knew that Wang Sancai and the others were definitely not ordinary people.
It's just that just when he wanted to talk to Wang Sancai, he heard Fang Shiyu already speak again: "Hmm...... Well, help me arrange it, we have three hundred and thirty-two people......"
"Wow! I really don't have that many rooms in this little inn! This time, without waiting for Fang Shiyu to finish speaking, the shopkeeper interrupted.
Fang Shiyu felt that the shopkeeper was deliberately wiping his face in front of Wang Sancai, and he was suddenly a little annoyed: "Then you can hurry up and find a way for me!" ”
When the shopkeeper heard his anger, he suddenly became panicked again, and threw a look at Wang Sancai for help.
Wang Sancai saw what Fang Shiyu wanted to say, so he simply stepped forward and pulled Fang Shiyu aside: "Follow me, you study hard during this time, don't wait until you enter the city and you won't learn anything, if you make a mess by yourself at that time, don't blame me for not helping you clean up!" ”
Fang Shiyu was speechless for a moment, and only said one sentence with a flushed face: "Lord Red Scarf, I'm sorry, I'm too stupid." ”
Wang Sancai couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted when he saw him like this, and his tone was a little more restrained: "I don't blame you, it's the habits you have cultivated over the years that are difficult to change for a while, but if you want to be a good citizen, then, learn seriously from now on, you know?" ”
"Shiyu understands." Fang Shiyu gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.
Wang Sancai sighed secretly in his heart, and then he set his eyes on the shopkeeper: "Don't worry, we are not bad people, you also heard him say just now, there are more than 300 people, in addition to your inn, where else is there an inn?" How far is it from here? ”
Obviously, Wang Sancai was ready to teach Fang Shiyu a lesson in person.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper's face instantly recovered a lot, and his tone was no longer so helpless: "This lord, there is an inn about ten miles away in front of you, but even if our two inns are combined, they really can't fit so many people." ”
"There are only two of you within a radius of ten miles?" Wang Sancai was a little unwilling.
The shopkeeper nodded, and said helplessly: "No way, this is a trail on the Zhumu Mountains, and if you calculate the time to travel from Eagle Dove City for a day, you can just reach the place where I am an inn, and the next inn is a place where you can rest and eat." ”
Listen to this. Wang Sancai couldn't help but show a helpless expression.
Mr. Hai couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately stepped forward and said to Wang Sancai: "Mr. Wang, I think it's better to forget it, these people I brought are sleeping in the suburbs all the way, and they won't have any complaints." ”
As he spoke, he saw that Wang Sancai still had the intention of persuasion, and preemptively spoke: "I know that Mr. Wang wants to express his gratitude to us, but there is really no need, they don't care if the accommodation is comfortable, and ...... We traveled all day during the day and didn't meet anyone from the Liang family. You have to pay extra attention at night. Keeping my people out there will also keep us safe. ”
Wang Sancai also knew that there was really no other way, so he had to sigh: "Okay, when I return to Feiliu City, I will pay Uncle Zhuang for all your expenses along the way." ”
"Then wait for the patriarch to make a decision himself." Mr. Hai also exhaled easily: "But I don't think he will ask you for money." Because kindness has always been priceless. ”
"I know. I just wanted to express my thoughts. Wang Sancai also knew that it was useless to talk about it now. After saying this, he simply said directly to the shopkeeper: "How many rooms do you have here now?" ”
"Fifty-six empty rooms." The shopkeeper didn't think about it, and immediately answered the exact number.
Fang Shiyu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interjected: "Lord Red Scarf, let my people let them sleep outside." With the protection of the people of the sea lord, they will definitely be fine. ”
Wang Sancai couldn't help but be stunned: "Mr. Hai's people are all real warriors, can those people of yours afford it?" ”
As soon as he heard this, Fang Shiyu immediately smiled: "Lord Red Scarf, although they are not real warriors, I dare to guarantee that their spirit of hardship and hard work definitely does not belong to real warriors, and besides, they are about to enter the city to enjoy happiness, and it can be regarded as a memory to endure a little hardship before." ”
"Okay, then I won't force it." Wang Sancai turned his head to look at the shopkeeper: "Then open five rooms." ”
“…… Five? The shopkeeper's eyes widened suddenly: "I heard me right, right?" ”
"That's right, hurry up." Wang Sancai was a little impatient.
"But, but, there are a total of ten people present...... "The shopkeeper swept it away, and saw that in addition to Wang Sancai, Mr. Hai and Fang Shiyu in the hall, there were also Fang Tong, Bai Xiao and five camp figures, indeed ten people.
Wang Sancai casually pointed to the five camp figures: "The five of them don't need rooms, hurry up, five rooms." ”
"Lord Red Scarf, I don't need a room anymore, I'm going out to accompany my people." Fang Shiyu suddenly said again.
Wang Sancai thought for a while, and thought that Fang Shiyu was the kind of person who didn't want to enjoy the glory and wealth alone, so he was no longer reluctant: "Then four rooms." ”
The shopkeeper is really depressed today, originally the room in his inn was not enough for the other party to live in, but the other party only needed four rooms under this discussion...... He couldn't stop laughing.
"Okay, okay, I'll register a few of you now." The shopkeeper hurriedly turned out the account book.
But who knows, Fang Shiyu suddenly spoke again: "Don't turn it over, my people and I have left here with Lord Red Scarf, and you don't have to pay me protection money in the future, the money for the four rooms will be free today, do you hear?" ”
The shopkeeper really felt that he wanted to cry without tears, he thought it was a big business, but who knew that it had become a small business, but now he not only can't make money, but he also has to pour money into it to serve them.
Wang San saw the shopkeeper's embarrassment: "Forget it, you just need to calculate the money for four rooms." ”
The shopkeeper just wanted to thank Wang Sancai, but suddenly saw Fang Shiyu's threatening eyes, as if telling him, "Don't you give me face?" ”
Suddenly, the shopkeeper could only force a smile and said: "No, no, according to the instructions of the owner of the village, I won't charge a penny for the four rooms tonight!" ”
He also added a sentence in his heart: There are so many killing gods outside my inn, where do I dare to collect money!
Wang Sancai saw that the shopkeeper took the initiative to ask for money, so why did he have to chase after him to give money?
Immediately, he nodded and said, "Okay, then that's it, David, you five come with me, and the shopkeeper can take us to our room." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Fang Shiyu, who was about to go out: "Shiyu, you go to my room with me first, I have something to tell you...... By the way, open one more room for Old Man Li and Sun Daniu to live in. (To be continued.) )
